If you take just one thing away from #FOSDEM this is it.
“If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away”
or putting it another way:
If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.

@amirbkhan @_elena If you stop using billionaire software, just you, you are depriving them of your revenue, attention, and data. Each of us getting off "platforms" (Window, Mac, Facebook, X, etc.) is a member of the "walk away" revolt. And the continuing work to make Free and Open Source Software more accessible to the rest of them takes power away from the oligarchs AND the government they own. We are #OpenLDAP and #GCC #COBOL, two links in the chain.#
@amirbkhan without democracy a lot of wonderful achievements will be no more; just imagine if we lost the light of human rights in the darkness, that is growing all over the world. Open source, human social development, choices and chances... will only go on if we all keep our freedom, our creativity to work toward a better future.
